Summary: A Paramount Work
Comment: Perhaps the greatest reference work on one of the most difficult topics humanity faces: political philosophy. It's depth of analysis and provocative insight propel the reader to new heights of personal reflection and understanding, successfully assisting civilization in its struggle to become something we cannot be. I thank the author.

Rating: 5
Summary: great start on theory
Comment: I first read this book as an undergrad, and now as a graduate student in politcal theory, I still find my self going back to its books lists for further reading. Tinder does what so few popularizers of complex issues fail at--making a hard, relevant discipline accessible without oversimplifying, without denying its complexity. Political philosophers, especially those in philosophy departments, should follow Tinder's example.

Rating: 5
Summary: Exceptional Political Theory text!
Comment: I have assigned Tinder's book for years in my university Political Theory course. (As have many others, given it is in its sixth edition.) It is the single finest text I have ever found for a general theory course. Tinder provides by means of a thoughtful, open-minded series of broad question and answer segments perhaps the most accessible work to undergraduate students I have ever seen in Political Theory. (Others have tried this approach with less success.) The book's style and structure are equally effective for one looking for a layman's understanding of the important contemporary questions in Political Theory. Readers interested in the relationship of politics and metaphysics (theology is a particular interest of Tinder) will find the text especially valuable. Its ability to deal with highly complex questions in such an engaging style leads me to provide the highest recommendation.
